RONIN: Data Lake Exploration

Summary: RONIN builds an on-the-fly hierarchical organization over a data lake for guided dataset exploration, addressing the starting-point problem of linkage-based navigation. It combines keyword and joinability search with dynamic organization navigation, enabling mode switching and on-the-fly updates as exploration proceeds. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
